Throughout the semester, we have been using Google Docs to share assignments with our teacher. At first, I was unfamiliar with this sharing tool. Like a wiki, you can collaborate on pieces in Google Docs. The first time I shared an assignment on Google Docs I resent it after some edits. Yet what I quickly learned is that you only have to share it once and then the person you shared it with has unlimited access to the viewing (and editing if you give them permission)! I haven't double-shared since!
Overall, using this tool has proven very beneficial. Not only does it make submitting assignments to the professor easier, but it really helped when Paige and I were creating a lesson plan together too. I can definitely see similar uses in the classroom setting- sharing lesson plans, project ideas, syllabuses, class policies, supply lists, etc with fellow teachers of my grade.
Perhaps what I love most about Google Docs is spelled out in its name- Google. Yes, Google. Google Docs is tied directly into my Google account which hosts my email, homepage, website, and various other resources. Whether file-sharing or collaborating, the fact that Google Documents is part of my Google account makes it just a click away (rather than a URL, a sign in, and a select away).
